Am I the only one who finds this odd? If I got an empty torn package from Fed Ex I would have already called them looking for my $1600 silver bar. Same for the sender of the package. Or is this part of a sting?
If it was insured and the buyer/seller collected on the insurance the bar now belongs to the Insurance Company not FedEx. It does not belong to the past owner either.
Need more info.

If insurance had been paid, why would FedEx be looking for the owner? If the insurer was someone other than FedEx, they would have contacted FedEx before paying the claim.
Good point on potential insurance company payoff. If it was privately insured and that company paid the claim then the seller and buyer are not looking for the bar. The insurance company would own it but they would need to go looking for it.
I have a background in the financial services industry and you'd be shocked at the large amounts of money that can go unclaimed.
The bottom line for me is that someone does not know how to properly wrap a package.

Or, perhaps someone grabbed it in transit, had second thoughts about the theft and dumped the bar then destroyed the packaging? Truth can be stranger than fiction.

This should be viral news if it's not a hoax.
I doubt it's a hoax. It was sent by AE.
Posted on the coin dealer network.
I've got some Englehard 10 oz bars; didn't think the were in the bar making business anymore.
Wow, good on FedEx!

So this goes missing and neither the shipper or intended recipient file a claim?
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

The more comments I hear the more spicious I become.
Still too many unknown variables.
Good for FedEx for reaching out.
